Facts of the Case
Background
Two deceased estates hold equal undivided shares in immovable property under an interim distribution plan approved by the Master. The executor of one estate seeks termination of co-ownership through sale and division of proceeds; the other executor opposes, alleging fraud in obtaining the plan and that estate property cannot be sold before winding-up.
